C1 Square Dance Boot Camp

[bjarvis]

Last Thursday, Dayle Hodge & I finished coordination of our plan for a C1 boot camp. The idea is to run through the entire C1 list in 4 three-hour sessions (Friday night, Saturday morning & afternoon and Sunday morning), then follow up with a C1 dance Sunday afternoon. Survivors Graduates won't be great C1 dancers but will have enough knowledge to attend future gentle C1 dances & workshops.

This morning, the DC Lambda Squares board gave its blessing to use their name and to funnel revenues & expenses through the club. From the DCLS perspective, they get a prepackaged event to their credit without any heavy lifting; from our perspective, we get a legitimate organization to whom dancer fee checks may be payable, a legitimizing name for promoting the event to dancers outside the immediate DC neighbourhood and a piggy-back on the club's liability insurance.

In short, the only obstacles left are sending in a check to hold our hall reservation and soliciting enough dancers to make it viable (need 10 minimum). To that end...

Know anyone interested in a condensed C1 weekend?

I thought about going, but we've got other things going on that weekend. I hope you all have a good time.

Bummer! We could use your dance guidance, or at least someone to help take pizza orders for lunch. :-)
